Cool concept, didn't realize until the final penguin that you were supposed to kill them XD. The camera zooms were very random for me, and the window size was a bit small

I really like the concept here. Building your character from pixels and having to use the same pixels to attack was cool.

I kept hitting what I think was a glitch where the camera would stay stuck zoomed way in sometimes, and I'd have a hard time seeing where I needed to go. Also I reached the end, and killed the huge penguin, but it didn't seem like anything else would happen.

Incredibly creative concept! I loved shooting pixels at those poor little penguins. Is there a way to make the game fullscreen?

I couldn't beat the invulnerable final giant penguin! This was fun, and an adorable take on "start with nothing".

I really like the shooting/life mechanic with the pixels! Very original! The zooming is a little weird though, it started zooming me out so far I couldn't see what was going on, and in so far I couldn't see anything around me.

Very nice, I really liked the idea of starting as a pixel, and using pieces of yourself in order to beat your enemies allowed for very interesting gameplay. Cute pixel art!

Nice concept, I like how your ammo and health is literally yourself.

Nice idea
Found a few 'bugs' in the HTML version:
* You can 'fly' by shooting pixels down to the ground after jumping
* You can get infinite pixels by emptying yourself near a healing square, then using the healing square, and collecting yourself again
* I beat the penguin and a grave appeared, but nothing else happened? (May not be a bug, just checking)

Nice work though :thumbsup:

Nice ludum dare entry. One slight critique: At some tiles the collision detection seems to have problems, as the character can't move forward without going back again or jump.

the movement was a bit sluggish, and I dont think i ever saw the complete sprite of the protagonist.

an otherwise fun little action platformer with pleasant penguin sprites and a fun take on the theme

Wow this was FANTASTIC! Love the interpretation of the concept, I was engaged the whole time. Obviously would have appreciated music and sound, and maybe even a health bar on the final penguin, but great work all around! :)

Cool idea! You really start from nothing. I had a good laugh at the animation of the large penguins when they take damage. I would have liked a health bar for the last boss.

Good job overall!

Cool concept, but even simple audio would make a game better. Nice penguins btw...

Good use of theme, picking up and then shooting your own pixels is cool. They all got trapped under the big boss penguin though!

Really cool idea, once you get a checkpoint you can full yourself tho(???) and jumps are pretty punishing :\

A fresh concept that matches the theme pretty good. Well done!
